ActionFigs.com has pics of the second wave of 2010 Marvel Universe product, including the highly anticipated Luke Cage, Black Widow, and Thor.
Wave 1 has already hit retail even though we haven’t closed out 2009 yet – I think this is because sell-through on Marvel Universe is pretty strong.

I had hoped to do a joint review with Pablolobo from the Fwoosh, since he got his hands on the blue and yellow version of Goliath, but he has been too busy running marathons, pooping, and giving presentations (hopefully not about pooping) at work.
We’ll be taking a look today at the two Marvel Universe Gigantic Battles sets that are exclusive to Wal-Mart. The first set features a Giant Skrull and the Bucky Barnes Captain America, and the second features Goliath and a pointy-headed Iron Man. I liked the idea of these very much when they were first announced, because it’s another sign of strength for the Marvel Universe line, and could be a stepping stone to other large format toys, like vehicles and playsets. Let’s see how these held up in production.
Yesterday I posted about Marvel Legends 2-packs being back in stock at ToysRUs.com – went back today and *everything* is eligible for free shipping this weekend with a purchase of $50 or more.
One item I saw that a few people have asked me about is the Marvel Universe Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends 3-pack, with Spidey, Firestar, and Iceman. I found mine at my local TRU, but I’ve heard that a lot of people have had a hard time finding this set.

I’ve been lucky enough to find the 2.5 wave of Marvel Legends 2-Packs at my local Toys R Us, but I’ve heard from a number of people that they haven’t been able to find them. If you’re still looking, then head over to the TRU website, where they have all three of the new 2-packs in stock.
They’re also included in their Free Shipping Store, so you’ll cut out any shipping cost if your order is over $50.
I’m also hearing that we’re going to see a lot of Black Friday deals at a lot of online stores, so stay tuned. Happy shopping!
